Predicted the Civil War.

How Christian college professors should have experience in ministry before they become teachers. Otherwise they form a non realistic academic view of life and ministry.
Riding on a steam ship for the first time.
Dealing with Christian sects.
Having mistakes as a traveling elder 50 years but no moral failure.
This took place 200 years ago but many of the same challenges still exist for missionaries and pastors.

Autobiography Of Peter Cartwright The Backwoods Preacher eBook Peter Cartwright Reviews
This book is absolutely unbelievable. I had heard stories of Peter Cartwright, but reading his own words on these tales was quite an experience. It really makes you realize how far downhill we've come. Over and over again as he relates different incidents that happened in his ministry, and how he dealt with them, I kept thinking "Nobody would put up with this now". I say that to our detriment. We are soft, and carnal, and this book will encourage you to grow a backbone and live for Jesus Christ.
The detail, history and the power of the Holy Spirit requested and seen in everyday evangelism. In the end even in 1870s he saw the zeal and dependency on the Holy Spirit going away. He would be so sad today?!
Peter Cartwright's autobiography is an engaging book for anyone interested in early Americana. He was a frontier preacher when the frontier was still East of the Mississippi River. His vivid and colorful descriptions of the characters he encountered and the events he witnessesd are lively as well as informative. Also, for those who like to read about the development of the established church, especially the Methodist church, in early America, it is particularly insightful.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Not only was it educational about the circuit riders of that day, but this man was an absolute character, and I highly recommend this book.
I learned of this book while listening to a music DVD called Circuit Riders which was narrated by Mike Huckabee. Those early circuit riding and frontier pastors were amazing. I love reading first hand accounts like this rather than books "about" history.
While a few passages were overwrought with burdensome details, the life of the backwoods preacher is quite interesting and many times downright humorous. God gifted Cartwright not only in preaching but administration, judiciousness and especially a sharp mind and thunderously quick wit. An excellent read for those interested in UMC history and specifically to the campmeeting/holiness movement.
I love biographies and Peter Cartwright's life was an inspiration to me as a Christian. He loved God and loved his enemies. What price are we willing to pay to see souls in heaven? Rev. Cartwright set a powerful example.
